Campaign Story
Hi, I’m Yuri from Year 6 at Panyaden School in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
As a diver and cyclist, I wish to combine my two passions into a fundraiser for the Coral Reef Alliance.
The Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) is one of the largest NGOs committed to coral reef preservation, using cutting-edge science and community engagement to reduce direct threats to reefs and to promote effective solutions for their protection.
On 03.02.24 I will cycle the Samoeng Loop - a challenging ride of nearly 100km that includes steep ascents up to 1140m, winding hairpin bends, tough terrains and unpredictable elements.
It is going to require perseverance, motivation and lots of training. However, I'm hopeful that I'm going to be able to do it and that I'll be able to raise some money for coral preservation and regrowth.
I appreciate your support in contributing to my fundraiser.
Thank you!
